I am a Board-Certified Psychiatric & Mental Health Nurse Practitioner dedicated to supporting individuals through life’s emotional and mental health challenges. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, struggling to cope, or facing issues that impact your daily functioning, I’m here to help.
I strive to create a safe, non-judgmental space where clients feel heard, respected, and supported. My approach is rooted in empathy and a deep commitment to improving access to quality mental health care. I work with children from age 4, adolescents and adults up to 100yrs old. I am passionate about advocating for those who often feel overlooked.
My goal is to provide empathetic, high-quality care that fosters healing and resilience. I encourage open communication and educate my patients about medication effects and side effects, and I provide a non-judgmental environment for my patients. I encourage questions and suggestions about your mental health care.
I believe in treating the whole person, considering not only their mental health symptoms but also their physical health, lifestyle, and social factors. This comprehensive approach allows me to develop individualized care plans that address the unique needs of each patient.
